Buffalo Sabres

Take a city with no shortage of ice, put it right next door to Canada and you’ll find a perfect storm of hockey fanaticism. And that feeling goes both ways—ESPN The Magazine ranked the Buffalo Sabres No. 1 in their Big 4 professional sports franchises “Ultimate Standings” poll for “giving fans the most back for the emotion, money and time they invest in their teams.” Put it all together and you’ve got one of the best overall fan experiences in professional sports!

Or you could fuel your engines during the game at the concessions inside the Center and get some sightseeing in first. Canalside and the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park are both right next to the First Niagara Center. A shoreline walking path will take you from there to the Erie Basin Marina Gardens and an 80-foot observation tower from which you can see panoramic views of downtown Buffalo, Lake Erie, the Niagara River and the Canadian shore.

With the best fan experience in all of hockey, no place (not even you, Detroit!) can match the thrill of seeing the Sabres when they’re in town!
